Columbus police arrested a man and a teenager yesterday on warrants that charge them in the
fatal shooting of a South Side man in December.

Michael D. Watson Jr., 20, who is listed as homeless in court documents, and Michael Henderson,
15, were arrested without incident inside a home at 1091 Walters St., a short walk from the Sunoco
station where Marvin Ector was killed on Dec. 23.

Police did not provide an address for Henderson.

Ector, 26, and a friend, Darnell Gammon, 31, were shot about 6 p.m. as they sat in a car outside
the station at Lexington and 5th avenues, not far from I-71 and just north of Downtown. Ector died
at the scene. Gammon was wounded in the hip.

Detectives obtained arrest warrants on Jan. 3 that charged Watson and Henderson with murder.
Watson was being held in the Downtown jail pending an initial appearance this morning in Franklin
County Municipal Court. Henderson faces a delinquency count in Franklin County Juvenile Court.
